Distorted Perspective

The Sober's Soliloquy

2013-04-19T10:54:00.001+08:00

In the advent of bleak winter,
I watched the ember fade in cold air.
I blindly walked everywhere
On a rainy night of December
To the path that took me nowhere;
Lost and confused, finding my way out
Like being caught in the middle of a riddle
So enigmatic and deep the answer is uncertain.

Silence filled the frigid air,
Only the serene raindrops were heard.
And I was hiding under the dark clouds
For the moon was nowhere to be found;
I was lost and would never be found.
At that very moment silence meant goodbye,
The absence of words uttered the unsaid.

I was the hero of my self-written tragedy,
The one who dies in this story.
Like I was Romeo and this is my soliloquy,
I already found my lovely Juliet
But we're not the ones fated to be.

If these wounds have to bleed and
Would take time before they heal and
The scars would remain forever
To remind me of the fate I suffered;
Let it happen if it must.
For this would be the last time,
And the last line
I'll ever write...
Under the pale moonlight
For the lost of something I never had.

A Sketch in Black and White

2012-08-11T10:11:00.005+08:00

A sketch in black and white,
Now brushed with yellow and blue;
The captivating colors of morning sky;
The golden sunshine that warms the globe
And illuminates my path towards you.
The enchanting beauty of the azure sky;
Like the ocean so pure and blue.
I want to watch the sunrise,
Only me and you;
Me with my guitar
And you with your simple yet lovely self.

A sketch in black and white,
Now painted with a shade of green.
The serene color of grasses and leaves.
I want to lay in those grasses
And watch the stunning beauty of sunset
As the cool breeze caresses our skin;
Only me and you,
Together with the sundown.

A sketch in black and white,
That's how I perceived the colors of life.
Now I've seen the rainbow
That comes after the thunderstorm.
I want to see it with you
Maybe after the storm
Of the time I'm writing this poem.

If You Look For Me

2012-04-09T23:14:00.000+08:00

If you will look for me tonight,
Look upon the night sky,
For I will be your moon
That will illuminate your path.

If you will look for me after a storm,
Look above the azure sky;
For I will be the rainbow
That will bring color to your life.

If you will look for me,
In this summer, under the golden rays;
Look upon the birds that hum,
I asked them to sing your name;
And they'll tell you where I am.

If you will look for me,
Turn around you and you'll see me;
For I will always be right behind
Even things have changed and
I seem to keep my distance away.

Her Voice is Angelic

2011-05-16T00:16:00.002+08:00

I have never heard a voice
So lovely as she softly speaks
My name that sombre night,
Like the voice of an angel in disguise
Making every moment perfect.

I have never loved my name
The way I love it every time
She says it with a smile
In her angelic face and
It has never felt so great.

Her voice is the only lullaby
That makes me fall asleep
Or even die as it calms
My weary soul singing her name
Before I close my eyes
And dream of her--
That I might meet her in the
World of dreams where I can
Touch the night sky
And see my lovely angel.

Nemesis

2011-03-10T21:03:00.003+08:00

Within the vicinity of the placid necropolis
Lies my decaying flesh--I was
Corrupted by the pestilence of doom
To be tormented by the shadows in the gloom.
Shackled by the choking chains of emptiness,
Desolated in the fathomless abyss
As I bleed on my rotting laceration
From self-mutilated incision.

I was entombed with eyes open wide
Shivering from the bleak hollow,
Carrying the cross of death
With my name engraved on bloodstain.
The vultures consumed my decomposing brain
My anguished thoughts morphed into
The desire of your endless agony.

The frigid razor kissed my soul--
It has marred my pale skin
With such wrath to blight
Your smiling mask with my bleeding hands.

I'll rise to abduct you in the graveyard
To rip your perfect disguise
And take back my stolen life.
And the body that was once mine.
Your hysteria would be my euphoria
And you'll shed blood on my fingertips.

I'll pray for your prolonged torture
And may Hades welcome you
In the terrifying underwolrd
To sing the song of death--
The requiem of my execrated dreams.

Your shadow may abide in you
But my vengeful spirit will always
Haunt you--not even death would save you.

A Lunatic's Birthday Angst

2011-02-24T13:35:00.006+08:00

Dear Diary,

Today is my birthday.

It's a typical day.
Creepy ghosts pass my way;

Tremendous nightmare ended yesterday.

Earthquake delusion started my day.

Everything seems perfect--a normal scenery

In their perfectly distorted symmetry.

The ghost whispers keep on telling me

No one would understand me--

A schizoid in the middle

Of this enigmatic life

Writing his execrated poetry

Making his picturesque fantasy

While dreaming of his own tragedy.

Nobody could fathom the contorted symmetry

That has cost me my valued sanity.

Everyday's a horror story--

I'm the thespian doomed for profanity

Because of my vile hypocrisy.

Could I solve the mystery

Of my misery and misanthropy

As the phantoms abide in my journey?

I'm frightened by the apparition

Bleeding with its own laceration

Draped in a bloody white cloth

Choking me in my sleep.

This is me,

I'm a walking catastrophe--

A living lie perfected through time.

I write in behalf of my lunacy,

Its crazy but its the reality.

Serenade

2011-02-06T23:18:00.003+08:00

The serenity of the heartfelt moment;
You are sitting so adjacent;
I'm trembling but I'm complacent
Feels like I'm swept by the torrent
Or shocked by electric current.

You taught me how to smile.
You taught me how to laugh.
So please show me the way
To your heart and please
Tell me now you'll stay.

Maybe someday I'll find my way
And sing to you like everything's'
An act or play.
So I'll be singing my way
'Til I reach your heart today.

Do you still remember the day
You asked my why I
Live like everyday's November?
I replied with a smile
For you put me on fire.
Maybe you're an ember
That melts my coldness on fire
In just a glimpse of your smile.

Should I play it with my guitar?
Or with a piano that fell from
the star? I hope I can sing
How beautiful you are that
If life is a movie you are
The leading star.

Friendship

2011-01-29T05:45:00.002+08:00

A friend in times of need
Is a real friend indeed.
Even time can't measure what you did
For you're always there
Even if I don't need.

Friendship embraces me completely
Reality is what makes this worthy.
Imperfect this maybe, but in the
End there would be
Nothing that can sunder this, not even
Death would hinder this.
Solitude once enslaved me;
Hatred once abode in me but you
Interfered and took everything away
Permanently, so I can live in ecstasy.

Once you were a stranger,
Now you're a life changer.
Thank you for being there
And saving me from despair
That I always bear.

The Tempest

2011-01-29T05:44:00.004+08:00

Heavy rain falls from the dark
Clouds up above the gloomy sky.
Lightning bolts strike on the moist ground
As I pass the flooded streets.

I run drenched from the tempest
To save my very life.
The sound of the roaring thunder
Terrifies me, my feet tremble.

Everybody around me shrieks,
They run...they hide..
They're desperate for their lives.
As they shiver from frigid air,
Their fate is running in despair.

Whirling winds destroys everything
In its destructive path;
The tempest ravages everything;
Houses built by dreams,
Dreams built within houses.

Dead bodies float around;
They drown...
Some are devoured by the raging current.
Some bodies are found;
Others are burried on the ground--
Some of them are burried alive
With their eyes open wide.

Moonlight

2011-01-23T02:56:00.006+08:00

Tonight, I want to hold you tight
Under the glowing moonlight
That illuminates our gloomy night.
Even I'm out of your sight
You are my endless light
That calms me in this perfect night.

The stars are sparkling tonight.
They spell your name right;
I won't leave without a fight.
Tonight, I'm making this right.
For you are my endless light.

You are the moonlight of my life
That lightens the dark side of my life.
I lie awake every night
To stare at your unfading light.

Every night seems to be endless
Am I feeling your gentle caress?
You took me out of distress
When I'm with you I don't feel less.

But you're thousand miles away;
I wish I asked you to stay
In this never ending night
Where morning is out of our sight.

Falling in the Endless Night Sky

2010-08-22T22:47:00.000+08:00

Falling in the Endless Night Sky

I fall in the night sky
As I wonder why...
You've come into my life
Just to torture me with goodbye.
I can't think of any reason why,
Why do you have to bid goodbye?

I gazed at you as you walk away,
Goodbye was all that you had said.
Why does it have to end this way?
Is it wrong to feel this way?

I wish I can soar up high
With my broken wings to try
To take back the word goodbye.
But I can't even if I endlessly try
For this wings are torn to fly

I suffer from such desolation
As I plead for the night to end.
Yet, it's neverending
I wish I can even take
A glimpse of tomorrow morning
To end my grieving
For my eyes are bleeding.

I would wait for years to see you again
And show you how much I gain
That even from ashes I'll rise again.

I'll wait for you in this timeless moment;
The moment you gave your last goodbye--
The night you left me to die;
The night I fell in the endless night sky.

Red Bloody Roses

2010-08-13T19:55:00.001+08:00

Red Bloody Roses

These roses are real so
I wrote my love for you on paper roses
Sealed with heartfelt poetry
And glaring honesty so
It can live 'til eternity.

These roses are red
For it was made with bloodshed
From my trembling bloody hands
Hoping it would even reach your hands.

These roses are real yet
It has no impaling thorns
Nor the roses' sweet scent
But it has the bitter smell of blood
From my anguished veins.

These roses aren't dead and
It would never die for it
Was blessed with an eternal life
From my undying love
For this is the only way to tell you
And words will never be enough
To let you know.

Letters from the Tormented Soul

2010-06-22T22:37:00.002+08:00

Worlds separate us apart,
Your words shattered me million pieces apart.
I tried so hard to reach you;
Yet, my ghostly hands can't even touch you.
But what can I do if I always think of you
Even if it makes me whimper and feel blue?
This sentiment for you feels so true.

I wish you could see
You mean everything to me.
But you don't-and will never-see me
Though you're always in front of me.
I'm invisible in your naked eyes;
You're the only apple of my eyes.

Only words can tell what my mouth can't say
But they go wrong when I'm on my way.
I'm craving to tell you what I'm feeling;
I'm drowning because of this crazy feeling.

I tirelessly scream your name
Am I the one to blame
If my attempts were in vain
And it only caused me so much pain?

If my last words even reach you
Just assume I am dead for I
Strive so hard to reach you but
I fall in the abyss of emptiness
To suffer from great distress
And die because of extreme sadness.

Endeavor

2010-06-16T23:43:00.002+08:00

I am blessed with the strength of a god,
Armed with the helm of iron will and
Aegis of immortality. Not even shadow fiends or
Even gorgons would stand in my way.
I'll save you from the demon witch with
My divine rapier sanctified by Zeus.

I have climbed enormous mountains.
I have killed countless undead minions.
I have fought ferocious beasts.
I will slay the wicked demon witch
To save you from your eternal slumber,
For us to live happily ever-after.

I am the knight-in-shining armor in your dreams
No one could stop me-not even myself- for I've come this far
So I won’t be turning back. I'll break the curse
To wake you up my sweet princess.

My eagerness gives me valor as I walk
My way into the dim castle in the middle of the
Dreadful forest. Then I open the ancient door, I searched
For your room in the gloomy hallway of the castle.
Then I walk upstairs, only the moonlight illuminates my
Path to you. The demon witch is beside you when
I found you. I fight her with all my might,
I only need to pierce her with my divine rapier.
But she's so powerful, only my love for you
Strengthens me and makes me invulnerable of her attacks.
I endure her destructive spells, I valiantly
Run to her and successfully give her a
Coup de grace. At last! The demon witch is dead.
We can now rejoice with bliss.
I know only a single kiss can wake you up.
So I kissed your tender lips in that tranquil night;
The immense darkness is starting to fade;
The radiant sun is gleaming at the sky,
Devouring the immense darkness of the night.
And I stare at your lovely eyes as you slowly wake up.
You'll never be alone again as long as I'm living
For you are something worth the waiting.

Now that the demon witch is dead,
You can now leave your deadly bed,
For your miserable has end.
Will you now live with me 'til the end?

A Dreadful Nightmare

2010-02-06T17:01:00.001+08:00

The radiant sun sleeps,
The serene moon glows,
The solitary night is cold.
The sky is filled with
Stars sparkling like a diamond,
Deafening silence wrecks my ears.

My crestfallen eyes are closed,
My fingers are crossed,
I lie here shaking.
My fate is cursed,
My life is doomed,
Everything is fading.

Light has lost its radiance;
Darkness has devoured me.
I’m lost in a deadly slumber-
Another dreadful nightmare.
I can hear spectral voices anywhere,
Specters are tormented everywhere.
I don’t know where I am but
The angel of death has come

From the dark clouds; I know
I’ll die on broken wings.
The radiant sun is rising,
The serene moon is hiding,
The night is turning to dawn.

The crows are flying
Over the horizon.
The black roses are slowly dying.
The sonorous requiem is starting.

I still hear the agony
Of my lifeless heart.
I still feel the melancholy
My blind eyes had gone through.

Now my empty soul wanders
In the place they call eternity.
Sitting at the top of the hill
Eternally desolated.

A Day Before the Summer Vacation

2010-02-06T17:00:00.003+08:00

A Day Before the Summer Vacation

You were so close,
Yet so far for me to reach.
You saw me when you glanced behind;
I was there sitting beneath the acacia tree,
As I clutch my emotions for me not to cave in.

The sands in the hourglass were
Rapidly falling, time was melting in
The hotness of summer.

The lights of the cameras were flashing,
They were smiling, busy taking picture of
Themselves for the memories no to fade
In oblivion. In a day, when sorrow and
Bliss conjoined, I was there sitting
Not knowing what to do.

The moment was heartfelt, I had seen
The bliss in your glossy eyes.

I was going to approach you to tell
You my farewell message, but my legs
Were frozen because of fear; I couldn’t
Move at that time.

The walls between us was too enormous
For me to vanquish; I don’t want
To vanish.

I had waited until sunset and I saw
Your shadow fade in the immense
Darkness of the night and I was there,
Still sitting beneath the acacia tree,
Still staring at the place where your shadow fade.

All I had to say was goodbye,
My eyes shouted it but wasn’t loud
Enough for you to hear my eyes’ trembling
Voice of saying goodbye. My dread
To talk to you tied my tongue; I
Couldn’t say a word, not even the single
Word goodbye, It was the last time,
Did I push myself too hard? Or I didn’t
Push at all?

It was the last time,
I didn’t take my chances
While the sun’s dazzling light
Shines through my skin to my
Rotting flesh.

It was the last time,
A now-or-never moment.
The end of everything,
The start of a new beginning.
I’m still waiting for you to
Hear the words I never had the
Chance to tell.
I know farewells aren’t forever,
But heartache is what I suffer,
When you were there and all I could
Do was to stare.
